The Harris City Council reached consensus on Jan. 20, 2026, to offer employment to Chante Carlson for the city clerk position at $25.00 per hour for 32 hours per week, with flexible scheduling provided she attends City Council and Planning Commission meetings.
The move followed interviews with two candidates; a third candidate had withdrawn before the meeting. Councilmembers interviewed the remaining applicants and, after discussion, agreed to extend the offer to Carlson. The council did not record a formal roll-call vote on the hiring decision, noting instead that members had reached consensus.
The clerk position is expected to maintain regular responsibilities including attendance at governing meetings; the council specified flexible scheduling to accommodate those meeting obligations. The special meeting record does not state when Carlson will begin work or whether the offer has been accepted.
The council convened the special session at 5:00 p.m. and adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
